Left Social Democrats

Slack: #left-social-democrats | lsd@twincitiesdsa.org | Website

We believe in the inherent goodness of the American people, and that if given a choice between actually-existing capitalism and a socialism that respects their values, beliefs, and rights, they will choose socialism of their own free will. We are DSAers who are also part of the new national North Star Caucus devoted to socialism and democracy.

Reform & Revolution

randr@twincitiesdsa.org | Website

Reform & Revolution is a revolutionary Marxist caucus within DSA. We helped lead the successful Tacoma DSA Tenants Bill of Rights ballot initiative, and our members helped elect Kshama Sawant to Seattle City Council and win the first $15 minimum wage in a major city in the country!

We stand for building DSA into a mass socialist party rooted in the struggles of the multiracial working class. We fight to end economic inequality, racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression, and to overthrow capitalism!
